No worries man. I was angry all the time when I had a shop full of epsons. Don't get me wrong they're good little machines, but they can get very fussy when you push a lot of media through them. High production printers have not typically been epson's forte. Try cleaning your encoder strip...

Is the GS6000 still using the DX5 heads? They listed the machine as having an all new print head design. Is it 360 nozzles per color per head or do they combine the nozzle count from both heads? In my experience Epson has always reserved the use of their newest heads for their own printers...

Huh? Care to explain some of that?

I use the eco-sols. They just require a little more heat to get a proper bite. Using the mild solvents (ss21's) wasn't possible for me since I work from home and didn't have any sort of air filtration when I bought the machine. Mimaki doesn't offer the true solvent HS1 inkset for the JV33 that...

I've used the same two part system and while not bullet proof it's certainly able to resist scratching no problem at all. It's the kinking you still need to be wary of. I use pos pro 200 for the end panels and the 300 for the center panels with the same 15 mil textured lexan laminate. Works...

Yes, Mutoh builds all the wide format Epson chassis from what I've gathered. It's still built to Epson's specs though.

In my experience Epson builds find print heads (for slower print speeds) and provides a good quality ink. I've never been impressed with their printer chassis. The GS6000 was the first use of the newest epson heads. It won't be long before Mutoh, Mimaki and others start sticking the same...

Thanks for the answers. While I may push my individual channels out of gray balance to maximize gamut. I've never had a problem with neutrality that can't be solved within the profile.

Even though the masked item boundaries are still showing up when selected doesn't mean they will print. Why are you concerned about this? This seems to be ridiculously simple layout. 1 png file used twice with two different masks. There's only four object on the page. I know what you're asking...

EM Plastics has always been reliable for me with the foamcore. They have a pretty big sale on it right now too.

Head slant adjust is very important to do any time your replace a print head. It won't be the cause of "this" problem, but will be the cause of other quality issues if not completed.

It's a long shot, but I didn't notice anywhere in your list of stuff you've tried, running any drop position test prints or cleaning the encoder strip. I wonder if bordeaux could confirm any changes to their formulation between what you're using now and prior batches. It's usually not the ink...

Are you sure the adjustments are applied after the profile and not between the lin curves and the profile transform? The little blurb I read from Wasatch seemed to indicate that's where the curve adjustments would wind up being applied is why I ask.

Just wondering what's involved. Do you have to use the curve 2 tool from chromix for certification or is there other lower cost or even open source alternatives? I know next to nothing about it and haven't really researched it much, but for a digital printer is it basically just grayscale...

I'm not sure what the job was worth but knocking the cut charges off if they were done wrong sounds very doable to me. I wouldn't think twice about knocking it off the bill if it wasn't done to specs.

Rasterlink is a good rip that's capable of so much more. It's too bad Mimaki keeps it so closed and charges such an astronomical amount for the color profiling option. I've been using Wasatch and it's been pretty good. Like someone else mentioned, if you're not doing your own profiles you...

The items are probably on the master page.

Can't you just crop out the portions of the .png files you need in photoshop and then bring the broken bits back into illy to layout individually?

Does anybody know anything about this certification process? I have a few questions about it I'd like to bounce off of somebody who knows more about it. Nothing exhaustive, just a few basic questions.
